Tommy Emmanuel

My thanks to Dangermouse on the "Last concert" thread for this recommendation. I just received Endless Road CD and this guy is an absolute magician. It sounds like he's got 12 hands.
I play a little guitar myself and could only dream of being able to play 1% as well as this guy.
I have the "Only" CD on order and can't wait to get it on the CDP.
For anyone who enjoys acoustic guitar played at it's finest then you can't go wrong with Tom.

I don't know Endless Road, but Only is the best album of Tommy. This is a fantastic solo acoustic album. His guitar fills the whole room with wonderful sound.

Please, tell me how do you rate the two albums? I'll be happy to find Tommy on vinyl?

Saw Tommy a few weeks back and he was superb. I rate Only as his best acoustic so far, but Endless Road has some really enjoyable tunes. His Best of is good as well. It's a double cd, one electric and one acoustic, and his electric playing is also very interesting.
For those players out there, he covers seven frets in the middle of Mombassa on Only, ouch!
